1992 Dodge Spirit LE review from North America
"The ultimate first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight electrical glitches in the dasboard controls.
Power windows (drivers side) rolled slow or not at all (depending on whether or not it was raining.)
Would stall while idle at first, problem fixed when oil and type of gas changed.
General comments?
Had there not been icy conditions that caused the poor thing to slide into a tree, I'd quite possibly have this car for a long long time.
Looks great, great interior, comfortable, quiet. Never gave any serious problems or needed any work. Good on trips, not too thirsty for gas however, it's only a 4cyl. car so don't expect to burn anyone in it.
Don't be too rough with it either, it's very vulnerable to knicks, scratches, and dents.
Overall, perfect, wish I still had it.
